NEO had developed a special rucksack and paraglider harness for this ascent: the Mountain K2, an ultra-light and extremely robust mountaineering rucksack made from DyneemaÂź Ripstop and the String 3.0
The collaboration between Jean Yves and NEO is a story of trust and loyalty that has lasted for over 10 years: in 2016, Jean Yves crossed the Himalayas solo by paraglider (over 4000 km in 4 months) with NEO’s ultra-light harness: the String, weighing only 290 g.
NEO is the only workshop that manufactures technical mountaineering backpacks and paragliding harnesses 100 % in France.
The heroic deed of Jean-Yves, known in mountaineering circles as âBlutchâ, pushes the boundaries of mountaineering:
3 other mountaineers who had climbed K2 on the classic route also flew from the summit on the same day.
